For three consecutive days, the prince contacted the courtiers under the guidance of Dayu's counselors.
With counselors teaching him step by step, the prince made rapid progress. Within three days, two civil servants agreed to neutralize.
Neutrality means not participating in the royal family dispute, which is already a very good result.
On the fourth day, half an hour after the military advisor returned home, he hurried to the palace and entered the palace where the king was.
Although King Assab is the head of a country, he is not busy with affairs on weekdays. At this moment, he was having snacks in the garden with the queen, princes and princesses.
The family of four sat together eating, drinking, and laughing, seemingly not caring about the outside world.
The military advisor walked to the garden gate and greeted the family of four.
"How come Military Advisor Milia has time to come to the palace?" The king made a disrespectful gesture, "But what's going on in the army?"
Miliya lowered his head and said: "In the summer, the king asked Wei Chen if he could arrange an army to protect the prince, but Wei Chen refused on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs. Now that the affairs of the army are almost settled, I wonder if the king can still return the favor. Need an army of a hundred men?”
Surprise appeared on the king's face: "The army of a hundred people is not too much, not too much. If you arrange it for the prince, aren't you afraid that Prince Yali will cause trouble for you?"
"So Wei Chen has an abrupt request..." Milia knelt down directly on the cobblestone garden ground, knocking her head on the ground, "I also ask Wang to grant it."
Wang couldn't sit still at all.
This military advisor is the most trusted person of the county king. He is considered to be inferior to one person and above ten thousand people. He never takes him as the king lightly.
Even if I came here to send him an army, I'm still kneeling on the ground and kowtow?
Is this the sun coming out in the west?
The prince hurriedly stepped forward and said, "As long as the military advisor has something to say, there is no need to perform this grand ceremony."
Miliya refused to get up and was still lying on the ground: "Weichen's mother has been ill for more than ten years and suffered for more than ten years. Now she finally sees the dawn of a cure, but she is missing the medicine. Please, please, the king." Accomplished!"
The king was very satisfied with his attitude: "There are countless rare medicinal materials in the royal palace. As long as you can name them, I will have them delivered to you."
"Yes, yes..." Miliya gritted her teeth and raised her head and said, "The imperial doctor of Dayu Kingdom said that the medicine was the brainchild of the True Dragon Emperor..."
"Presumptuous!" the queen shouted coldly and angrily, "The military advisor is so brave, he dares to covet the king's heart and soul. How is this different from murdering the king's life?"
The king's face was full of disbelief: "An army of a hundred people just wants to exchange for my heart's blood. Who gives you the courage? Your mother's life is life, but my life is not life? Okay, very good! Miliyah , you succeeded in irritating me, come here, hold him down, and hit thirty big boards first!"
Miliya knew this would happen.
But he had no choice, he had to take this trip.
As long as his mother's illness can be cured, he can take off her head.
He knelt on the ground: "Wei Chen has asked the Chinese doctors in Assab. They said that taking heart blood will not necessarily lead to death. As long as the method is done properly, it is equivalent to being bitten by a mosquito..."
"If a mosquito bites you, you won't feel any pain, right?" Wang was furious, "Come here and reward him with a hundred big slabs!"
"Wait a minute."
The prince stepped forward and knelt down with Milia.
He cupped his hands and said, "Father, I have something to say, please listen to what I have to say."
The queen held down the king's restless hand and said softly: "Please speak."
"If the queen is the mother of a country, then the king is the father of a country, and every subject in Assab is his father's subject." The prince said unhurriedly, "The king's duty and mission is to protect Every commoner, the mother of a military advisor is just an ordinary commoner, and she is also a subject of the father. A father would risk his own life to save his child, and the father should not risk his life to save his people. "
Wang looked at his own son in disbelief: "You mean, let me give out my hard work?"
Miliya was also in disbelief.
He turned to look at the young prince kneeling beside him.
Although a prince is a prince after he is born, his sense of existence is quite low. After all, even the king is just a puppet, let alone a young prince.
The prince never paid much attention to the prince, and he never took the prince seriously.
But now, the prince actually asked the king to save his mother. How magnanimous does this have to be to do such a thing?
"In the past few months, I have been reading books about the Kingdom of Dayu. The book says that the king is benevolent and invincible in the world. This should be the reason why the Kingdom of Dayu is so strong." The prince continued, "The book also says that the people are good for the people. Noble, the country is second, and the king is the least. It means that as the leader of a country, the king should put himself in the lowest position and implement benevolent government, so that the country can last long. The father is kind-hearted and treats the palace people with tolerance and magnanimity. , why can’t we extend this kindness to old Mrs. Miliya?”
Wang was silent.
It's not because he thinks what his son said makes sense, but because he doesn't understand.
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations with Dayu, the envoy would bring back some books from Dayu every time. There were many books in the royal library that he had never read. However, he did not expect that his son had already read them well and knew the sentences in the books at ease. ... If his son is so smart, he will definitely be a good king. On the other hand, he has become more and more useless over the years.
If you implement benevolent governance, it may be worth it if you can win a little bit of praise for the royal family.
The queen held the king's hand: "What Victor said makes some sense, why not give it a try."
The king nodded and looked at Miliya: "You are King Yali's confidant, not my subject. I saved your mother solely for the prince's sake."
Milia's eyes were shocked.
When he entered the palace to ask for an audience with the king, he was polite first and then sent troops. If the king refused to give him his heart's blood, he would directly let the army come in and take the blood by force.
To him, the life of his old mother who gave birth to and raised him was a hundred times more important than the king's life.
Even if he is charged with regicide, he is willing to fight.
But now, before he even used his trump card, Wang actually agreed to take blood...
While Miliya was stunned, the queen had already asked the national doctor to be invited into the hall.
"The counselor will wait outside for a while." The queen said softly, "If something happens to the king, I hope the counselor can protect the prince... If the king can survive, the counselor does not need to say thank you. This is what a monarch should do."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the inner room.
The military advisor knelt on the ground and heard the king's painful howl coming from the inner room of the hall.
After a while, the prince came out with a small bowl: "Commander, please go back and boil the medicine with your heart. Also, this is another medicine given by the imperial doctor of the Dayu Kingdom. Swallow it together with the cooked medicine. It can reduce the number of people." The old lady’s hemoptysis syndrome.”
Miliya bent over and took the things, raised her eyes and looked at him: "The king saved my mother's life, so I swear here that one day I will protect the prince's life."
"I asked my father to save the old lady, not for the reward of the military advisor." The prince said gently, "Advisor, please go back quickly, don't delay the old lady's condition."
The military advisor turned around and left.
As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, he met Prince Yali who had returned with King Qin.
